Racist Incidents

We take racist incidents very seriously and have developed a number of options to make it easier for you to report. We aim to increase reported incidents, ensure victims and witnesses are fully supported and build their confidence in the criminal justice systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim, witness or any other person. It can also include racism by association e.g. mixed race partners or parents or presumed membership of a race or ethnic group - even if it is a mistaken presumption. For example, identifying a person from any part of Asia as Pakistani and calling them racist names.
